Fortress FX-16 Complete Anchoring System

Secure your vessel with the FX-16 Complete Anchoring System, engineered for superior holding strength and versatile performance. Whether serving as your primary anchor or a dependable backup, this system ensures your boat remains firmly in place across a variety of seabed conditions.

Top-Tier Holding Capability

The Fortress FX-16 anchors are celebrated for their exceptional holding power. Equipped with two large, precision-machined, and sharpened flukes, these anchors set rapidly and penetrate deeply, providing steadfast stability even in challenging environments.

Adjustable Setting Angle

Adapt to different seabed compositions with ease. The FX-16 allows you to adjust the anchor angle from 32° for optimal performance in sand and clay to 45° for enhanced grip in soft mud. This flexibility ensures reliable anchoring in various marine conditions.

Enhanced Performance in Soft Bottoms

Included in the Complete Anchoring System are unique Mud Palms, specifically designed to improve anchor setting and holding in problematic soft bottoms. These Mud Palms help distribute the load and prevent the anchor from dragging, ensuring your boat stays secure.

Comprehensive Anchoring Components

This complete system includes:

• 15′ of 1/4″ G-30 chain, providing strength and durability
• 250′ of shock-absorbing 3/8″ three-strand nylon rope, mitigating strain on your boat
• A robust 1/4″ shackle for secure connections

All components are meticulously spliced to ensure maximum performance and reliability during anchoring operations.
